[Verse 1:]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joy-ous strains
[Chorus:]
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
[Verse 2:]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
[Verse 3:]
Come to Bethelehem and see
Him whose birth the an-gels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
[Verse 4:]
See within a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heavn and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joy-ous strains
[Chorus:]
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
[Verse 2:]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
[Verse 3:]
Come to Bethelehem and see
Him whose birth the an-gels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
[Verse 4:]
See within a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heavn and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth
